I had the good fortune of very briefly making his acquaintance while attending the Savannah Film Festival when Handshake was screening there a few years back. The impression I gained was that he is a no B.S. type of person. 'Authentic' or 'Real' are a words that jump to mind.Erik Westlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191332666813397165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005242.post-38489559572174074322009-02-19T23:21:00.000-06:002009-02-19T23:21:00.000-06:00What a coincidence..

While watching his short film "Puppet", I thought about some things we went over in APT#7, specifically about rhythm and animating to music. <BR/><BR/>The animation in "Puppet" is married nicely to the classical music track. The music itself is nice and dramatic, but it's matched in intensity by his animation, so they work well together. He's also using the beat well -- I noticed that he uses smaller beats to his advantage, making his timing for smaller actions look organic, and concealing the fact that he's following a beat.<BR/><BR/>That's what I felt intuitively, anyway; I should step frame through the animation to verify it.<BR/><BR/>I agree totally that his work has a raw, visceral quality. He does come across as a very passionate person and animator.sunny kharbandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04305527230331528952noreply@blogger.com
